2 days ago... We had 3 different set up and tear downs on elder care facility.

We do a lot of these facilities... Some inconvenience working around the residents and long hose runs. Need to have more time available, work to make sure residents safety...

Last area completed... And can't find Austin...

Hoses all neatly rolled up... No Austin... What the heck?!?!

Emergency bathroom from Mikey's Tofu sample pack?



Nope.... Austin is in the meeting hall.... Singing with the elderly ladies who are have a bang up great time!


Talk about a moment of beam with pride what that boy was doing!

Had a couple of calls from the kids whose parents are in there....

My wife just giddy with pride too taking calls about it...

Still got us a good one... Happy Feet Austin...

Saiger, those elderly care facilities are begging you to go with a Cimex!

It'll be Austin's favorite thing to do.

1 power cord. Hardly any noise.

Run a fan or 2 and you're dry and looking great in no time.

The vacuuming takes longer.

I was thinking the same thing. My biggest concern is slip and fall cleaning with a tm. I have one that has nice ceramic tile in the entry of every unit. Death trap in my opinion. Limits how far ahead of ourselves we can prespray. The Orbot is great for that. Nice to know Austin can sing. Surprised you don't have a video of it.

Too many biological accidents in an elderly care facility to go with Cimex. HWE is much more effective here.

Do you block off the areas that you're. Doing? My job is not a care home but a senior's residence. We are cleaning the common hallways. Not a lot of biological contamination. We can't restrict the residents from coming and going so have looked at low moisture instead of hwe. We don't want them walking off a presprayed carpet and wiping out on their tiled floor. So far, the Orbot has done well as their is no need to prespray. The machine sprays as it goes and the encapsulation solution is not very slippery once we have run the machine over it a couple of times. All cgd. I think any contamination can be treated and passed out. I do have a care home that I have done some minor work in and would like to get the contract for the whole thing but I am a little leery of going in with a TM because of the slip and fall hazards.

We use the TM on the rooms during a turnover or when the resident is in the hospital or with family. When practical, we will hwe a small chunk of adjoining hallway. Hoses thru room window only.

Dining and activity rooms hwe at least annually, with hoses routed where they NEVER go thru resident traffic areas.

In between either OP or encap, whatever WE decide is best.

Dan may not have canned him, but he would have had a sit down with him, as to who's time he was on.
SERIOUSLY! Ironic the expectation differences. :biggrin:

I'm sure the ladies enjoyed the company! :cool:

Doing hallways, it is important to place a dry walk-off mat on adjacent tile floors.

I try to do them after supper when the elderly have gone back to their rooms.

Poo in the halls yesterday....

Blood in the halls yesterday....

Both also in a couple rooms....

They want HWE and pay full price...we are willing to give....as they are willing to pay....

As far watching hoses...yep...we do that and so does the staff....

Drying...we don't worry, as we can bring in air movers and dry any minimal transition from carpet to an occasional hard surface...

Zippers make that very easy for us....

Show me the money!

And Aron and Austin both got an atta boy and some extra change in their pockets from us as well for being such good people....

I suppose if there's blood and poopie then I'd definitely HWE.

The senior homes I've cleaned in have had serious issues keeping the stragglers off the carpet I just cleaned.

Half the time I tell them and they seem to understand and comply...but 5 minutes later they're back!

I wish I could really understand what you guys say at times.

Marty confuses me most of all apart from the guy that keeps changing his name, Desk Jockey???

I get the idea that you've lost Austin ??

I always thought that Austin was in Texas. ??

'n I bet there's plenty of poo 'n blood in many halls in Austin.
